Unless defined otherwise, technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure should be given the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terms "first," "second," and the like, as used in this disclosure, do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but rather are used to distinguish one element from another.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a surface acoustic wave resonator device, a method of manufacturing the same, and a filter, the surface acoustic wave resonator device having a main body region and a peripheral region, wherein the peripheral region includes a first peripheral region and a second peripheral region located on opposite sides of the main body region in a first direction, and the surface acoustic wave resonator device includes: a piezoelectric substrate; the interdigital transducer is arranged on one side of the piezoelectric substrate and comprises a plurality of interdigital electrodes, a first interdigital electrode lead-out part and a second interdigital electrode lead-out part, wherein the plurality of interdigital electrodes comprise a first interdigital electrode and a second interdigital electrode; the first interdigital electrodes and the second interdigital electrodes extend along a first direction and are alternately arranged along a second direction intersecting the first direction; wherein the first interdigital electrode is located in the main body region and extends across the first peripheral region to connect with the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion, and the second interdigital electrode is located in the main body region and extends across the second peripheral region to connect with the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion; and a clutter suppression structure disposed on a side of the interdigital transducer away from the piezoelectric substrate, and including a main body structure and a saw tooth structure, wherein the main body structure extends continuously along the second direction and overlaps end portions of the plurality of interdigital electrodes near the peripheral region in a third direction perpendicular to the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate, the saw tooth structure is disposed on a side of the main body structure away from the main body region in the first direction, and at least a portion of the saw tooth structure overlaps the plurality of interdigital electrodes in the third direction.
The surface acoustic wave resonator device and the manufacturing method thereof and the filter of the embodiment of the disclosure can have the following technical effects: the clutter suppression structure comprises a main body structure and a sawtooth structure, and the overlapping area of the clutter suppression structure and the interdigital electrode can be increased by further arranging the sawtooth structure on the basis of the main body structure, so that the clutter suppression capability of the clutter suppression structure is improved, the clutter in the resonator device and the filter is reduced or eliminated, and the device performance is improved. Moreover, the sawtooth structure is arranged on one side of the main body structure far away from the main body region, so that the sawtooth structure can be prevented from occupying the region where the center part of the interdigital electrode is located (namely, the effective resonance region) to a certain extent, thereby being beneficial to reducing the size of the resonator device and further reducing the size of final products such as a filter.
In addition, by arranging the clutter suppression structure to simultaneously comprise the main body structure and the sawtooth structure, on one hand, the structural stability of the clutter suppression structure can be ensured, and on the other hand, the whole area of the clutter suppression structure can be relatively reduced while the overlapping area of the clutter suppression structure and the interdigital electrode is increased, so that the clutter suppression capability of the resonator device is improved, ohmic loss is reduced, and the device performance is improved.

Fig. 1B illustrates a schematic enlarged top view of region D of the surface acoustic wave resonator apparatus of fig. 1A according to some embodiments of the disclosure. Fig. 2A, 2B, 2C show schematic cross-sectional views taken along lines A-A ', B-B ', C-C ' of fig. 1A, respectively.
Referring to fig. 1A and 1B, in some embodiments, a surface acoustic wave resonator device 500a includes a piezoelectric substrate 100, an interdigital transducer (INTERDIGITAL TRANSDUCER, IDT) 101, and a clutter suppression structure 106. The interdigital transducer 101 is disposed on one side of the piezoelectric substrate 100, and the clutter suppression structure 106 is disposed on the side of the interdigital transducer 101 away from the piezoelectric substrate 100. The surface acoustic wave resonator device 500a has a main body region BR and a peripheral region GR, and the peripheral region GR includes a first peripheral region GR1 and a second peripheral region GR2 located on opposite sides of the main body region BR in the first direction D1. For clarity of the drawing, the clutter suppression structure 106 is shown as transparent in top view, but it should be understood that this does not mean that the clutter suppression structure 106 is a transparent material. In some embodiments, the clutter suppression structure 106 comprises a conductive structure, such as comprising a metal structure, and the metal structure may be electrically floating.
For example, the interdigital transducer 101 includes a plurality of interdigital electrodes, a first interdigital electrode extraction portion 12, and a second interdigital electrode extraction portion 22. The plurality of interdigital electrodes may include a first interdigital electrode 11 and a second interdigital electrode 12. The first interdigital electrode 11 and the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 12 are connected to each other, and may together constitute a first interdigital electrode structure. The second interdigital electrode 12 and the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 are connected to each other, and may together constitute a second interdigital electrode structure. In some embodiments, the interdigitated electrode lead-out may also be referred to as a bus bar (busbar).
In some embodiments, the plurality of first interdigital electrodes 11 and the plurality of second interdigital electrodes 12 extend in the first direction D1 substantially parallel to each other, and are alternately arranged in the second direction D2 and spaced apart from each other. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are parallel to the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate 100 (e.g., a surface close to the interdigital transducer 101) and intersect each other, e.g., are substantially perpendicular to each other. The first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 is located on one side of the plurality of first interdigital electrodes 11 in the first direction D1, and is connected to the plurality of first interdigital electrodes 11 such that the plurality of first interdigital electrodes 11 are electrically connected to each other through the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21. Similarly, the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 is located at one side of the plurality of second interdigital electrodes 12 in the first direction D1, and is connected to the plurality of second interdigital electrodes 12 such that the plurality of second interdigital electrodes 12 are electrically connected through the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22.
The first and second interdigital electrode lead-out portions 21 and 22 are located on opposite sides of the body region BR in the first direction D1, for example, the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 is located on a side of the first peripheral region GR1 away from the body region BR in the first direction D1, and the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 is located on a side of the second peripheral region GR2 away from the body region BR in the first direction. That is, in the extending direction (e.g., the first direction D1) of the interdigital electrode, the first peripheral region GR1 is located between the body region BR and the first interdigital electrode extraction portion 21, and the second peripheral region GR2 is located between the body region BR and the second interdigital electrode extraction portion 22. Herein, the body region BR refers to a region in which the first interdigital electrode 11 and the second interdigital electrode 12 completely overlap each other in the arrangement direction (e.g., the second direction D2) of the interdigital electrodes; in the peripheral region, the first interdigital electrode and the second interdigital electrode do not overlap each other in the second direction. The body region BR and the peripheral region GR each include not only a layer where the interdigital transducer is located, but also a layer overlapping the interdigital transducer in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate. In this context, overlapping of a plurality of members in a certain direction means that the orthographic projections of the plurality of members on a reference plane perpendicular to the direction overlap each other. That is, in the body region BR, orthographic projections of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the second interdigital electrode 12 on a reference plane perpendicular to the second direction D2 (for example, a surface of the reflective grating 102 on the side close to the interdigital transducer) completely overlap each other.
With continued reference to fig. 1A and 1B, the first interdigital electrode 11 is located in the body region BR, and extends across the first peripheral region GR1 from the body region BR to be connected with the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21. The second interdigital electrode 12 is located in the main body region BR and extends from the main body region BR across the second peripheral region GR2 to be connected with the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22. The first interdigital electrode 11 has a first electrode edge 11e, the first electrode edge 11e being distant from the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 in the first direction D1 and facing the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22, and being spaced apart from the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 by the second peripheral region GR 2. The second interdigital electrode 12 has a second electrode edge 12e, the second electrode edge 12e being distant from the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 in the first direction D1 and facing the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21, and being spaced apart from the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 by the first peripheral region GR 1.
The peripheral region GR may be defined by the respective electrode edges and the surfaces of the interdigital electrode lead-out portions facing the electrode edges. For example, the first peripheral region GR1 may include a region located between an expansion plane in which the second electrode edge 12e expands in the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 and an expansion plane in which a surface of the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 facing the second electrode edge 12e expands in the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 in the first direction D1. The second peripheral region GR2 may include a region located between an expansion plane in which the first electrode edge 11e expands in the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 and an expansion plane in which a surface of the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 facing the first electrode edge 11e expands in the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 in the first direction D1. The third direction D3 is perpendicular to the main surface 100 of the piezoelectric substrate 100, and may be perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2.
In some embodiments, the body region BR includes a central region C and first and second end regions E1 and E2 located on opposite sides of the central region C in the first direction D1, the first end region E1 being located between the central region C and the first peripheral region GR1, the second end region E2 being located between the central region C and the second peripheral region GR 2. The first interdigital electrode 11 and the second interdigital electrode 12 each include a central portion, a first end portion, a second end portion, and a connecting portion, in each interdigital electrode, the first end portion and the second end portion being located on opposite sides of the central portion in the first direction, and the connecting portion being located on a side of the second end portion away from the central portion and connected to a corresponding one of the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion and the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion; in each interdigital electrode, the central portion is located in the central region C, and the first end portion is located in one of the first end region E1 and the second end region E2; the second end portion is located in the other of the first end portion E1 and the second end portion E2, and the connecting portion is located in one of the first peripheral region GR1 and the second peripheral region GR2, wherein the first end portion and the second end portion may be collectively referred to as end portions of the interdigital electrode; the first end region E1 and the second end region E2 may be collectively referred to as end regions. It should be understood that the central portion, the first end portion, the second end portion, and the connecting portion of each interdigital electrode are connected to each other and are continuous, and may be integrally formed. In some embodiments, the interdigitated electrodes and the interdigitated electrode lead-out may also be integrally formed in each interdigitated electrode structure.
For example, as shown in fig. 1B, the first interdigital electrode 11 includes a central portion 11a located in the central region C, a first end portion 11B located in the second end region E2, a second end portion 11C located in the first end region E1, and a connection portion 11d located in the first peripheral region GR 1. The second interdigital electrode 12 includes a central portion 12a located in the central region, a first end portion 12b located in the first end region E1, a second end portion 12c located in the second end region E2, and a connecting portion 12d located in the second peripheral region GR 2. The center portion 11a of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the center portion 12a of the second interdigital electrode 12 overlap each other (e.g., completely overlap) in the second direction D2, the first end portion 11b of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the second end portion 12c of the second interdigital electrode 12 overlap each other (e.g., completely overlap) in the second direction D2, and the second end portion 11c of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the first end portion 12b of the second interdigital electrode 12 overlap each other (e.g., completely overlap) in the second direction D2. The connection portion 11D of the first interdigital electrode 11 is located in the first peripheral region GR1, and does not overlap the second interdigital electrode 12 in the second direction D2; the connection portion 12D of the second interdigital electrode 12 is located in the second peripheral region GR2, and does not overlap the first interdigital electrode 11 in the second direction D2.
In some embodiments, the clutter suppression structure 106 is disposed on a side of the interdigital transducer remote from the piezoelectric substrate in the end and peripheral regions and overlaps with the end portions and connections of the first and second interdigital electrodes 11 and 12 in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate (e.g., the third direction D3). The orthographic projection of the clutter suppression structure 106 on the piezoelectric substrate 100 is located outside the center region C, i.e. offset from the orthographic projections of the center portions 11a of the first interdigital electrodes 11 and the center portions 12a of the second interdigital electrodes 12 on the piezoelectric substrate 100. In some embodiments, the central region C is an effective resonance region of the saw resonator device.
In some embodiments, the first end portion and the second end portion of the first interdigital electrode and the orthographic projection of the first end portion and the second end portion of the second interdigital electrode on the piezoelectric substrate are located within an orthographic projection range of the clutter suppression structure on the piezoelectric substrate. In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of a portion of the connection of the first interdigital electrode and a portion of the connection of the second interdigital electrode onto the piezoelectric substrate is also within the orthographic projection range of the clutter suppression structure onto the piezoelectric substrate.
Referring to fig. 1A and 1B and fig. 2A-2C, in some embodiments, the clutter suppression structure 106 includes a body structure BP and a saw tooth structure SP. The main body structure BP extends continuously in the second direction D2 and overlaps end portions of the first and second interdigital electrodes 11 and 12 near the peripheral region in a third direction D3 perpendicular to the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate 100. The saw tooth structure SP is located on a side of the main body structure BP near the peripheral region GR in the first direction D1, and protrudes from the main body structure BP toward the peripheral region GR. At least part of the saw tooth structure SP overlaps the first interdigital electrode 11 and/or the second interdigital electrode 12 in the third direction D3.
In some embodiments, the saw tooth structure SP extends beyond the first electrode edge 11e of the first interdigitated electrode 11 and/or the second electrode edge 12e of the second interdigitated electrode 12 in the first direction D1, and at least part of the saw tooth structure SP is located in the peripheral region GR.
For example, the clutter suppression structure 106 includes a first clutter suppression substructure 106a and a second clutter suppression substructure 106b. The first clutter suppression substructure 106a and the second clutter suppression substructure 106b are disposed side by side in the first direction D1 and on opposite sides of the central region C. One or more (e.g., each) of the first and second clutter suppression substructures each include a body portion and a serration portion connected to each other, the body portion being continuously extendable in a second direction across the plurality of first and second interdigital electrodes and overlapping at least end portions of the first and second interdigital electrodes in a direction perpendicular to the major surface of the piezoelectric substrate. The sawtooth portion is located on one side, close to the peripheral area, of the main body portion connected with the sawtooth portion, of the interdigital electrode leading-out portion and far away from the central area, each main body portion is provided with a main body side wall close to the peripheral area, and the sawtooth portion protrudes out of the main body side wall of the corresponding main body portion in the first direction. The serrations may be located in the end region and/or the peripheral region. For example, in some embodiments, the serrations extend beyond the electrode edges of the respective interdigitated electrodes, and at least a portion of the serrations may be located in the peripheral region and partially overlap the connection portions of the respective interdigitated electrodes, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.
During operation of the saw resonator structure, the saw propagates along the direction of alignment of the plurality of interdigital electrodes (e.g., the second direction D2) of the interdigital transducer 101, however, there may be some clutter propagating along the extending direction of the interdigital electrodes (e.g., the first direction D1), and such clutter may cause energy loss, thereby causing performance degradation of the resonator/filter; in embodiments of the present disclosure, by providing a clutter suppression structure comprising a first clutter suppression substructure and a second clutter suppression substructure over the tip portions and/or connections of a plurality of interdigital electrodes, a region or interface of varying acoustic wave propagation impedance can be created, thereby suppressing or eliminating clutter propagating in a first direction D1, and clutter propagating in the first direction D1 can be reflected back into the resonator, thereby reducing or avoiding energy loss. In some embodiments, the clutter suppression capability of the clutter suppression structure is mainly dependent on the overlapping portions of the clutter suppression structure and the plurality of interdigital electrodes, so that increasing the overlapping area of the clutter suppression structure and the plurality of interdigital electrodes can improve the clutter suppression capability. Here, the overlapping area of the clutter suppression structure and the plurality of interdigital electrodes refers to the area of the overlapping portion of the orthographic projection of the clutter suppression structure on the piezoelectric substrate and the orthographic projection of the plurality of interdigital electrodes on the piezoelectric substrate.
For example, the first clutter suppression substructure 106a includes a first body portion 106a1 and a first serration 106a2 connected to each other; the second clutter suppression substructure 106b includes a second body portion 106b1 and a second serration portion 106b2 connected to each other. The first body portion 106a1 and the second body portion 106b1 may extend continuously in the second direction D2 substantially parallel to each other and each extend across the end portions of the plurality of first interdigital electrodes 11 and the plurality of second interdigital electrodes 12.
In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the second end portion of the first interdigital electrode and the first end portion of the second interdigital electrode on the piezoelectric substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the first main body portion on the piezoelectric substrate, and a portion of the connecting portion of the first interdigital electrode overlaps the first saw tooth portion in the third direction; the orthographic projection of the first end portion of the first interdigital electrode and the second end portion of the second interdigital electrode on the piezoelectric substrate is located within the orthographic projection of the second main body portion on the piezoelectric substrate, and a part of the connecting portion of the second interdigital electrode overlaps the second saw tooth portion in the third direction.
For example, the first body portion 106a1 overlaps with end portions of the first and second interdigital electrodes 11 and 12 near the first peripheral region GR1 (i.e., the second end portion 11c of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the first end portion 12b of the second interdigital electrode 12) in the third direction D3, and overlaps with a gap between end portions of adjacent interdigital electrodes. The second body portion 106b1 overlaps with end portions of the first and second interdigital electrodes 11 and 12 (i.e., the first end portion 11b of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the second end portion 12c of the second interdigital electrode 12) near the second peripheral region GR2 in the third direction D3, and overlaps with a gap between end portions of adjacent interdigital electrodes.
The first body portion 106a1 has a first body side wall S1a and a side wall S1b opposite to each other in the first direction D1, the first body side wall S1a being close to the first peripheral region GR1 and facing the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21, and the side wall S1b being far from the first peripheral region GR1 and being close to the central region C. The second body portion 106b1 has a second body side wall S2a and a side wall S2b opposite to each other in the first direction, the second body side wall S2a being close to the second peripheral region GR2 and facing the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22, the side wall S2b being distant from the second peripheral region GR2 and being close to the central region C.
In some embodiments, the first serration 106a2 is disposed on a side of the first body portion 106a1 near the first peripheral region GR1 in the first direction D1, and is connected to the first body portion 106a 1. For example, the first serration 106a2 protrudes from the first body sidewall S1 of the first body 106a1 toward the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 in the first direction D1. In some embodiments, the first serrations 106a2 may extend beyond the second electrode edge 12e in the first direction D1; that is, in the first direction D1, the distance D1 between the first serration 106a2 and the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 may be smaller than the distance between the second electrode edge 12e and the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21. At least a portion of the first serration 106a2 may be located in the first peripheral region GR 1.
The second serration 106b2 is provided on a side of the second body portion 106b1 near the second peripheral region GR2 in the first direction D1, and is connected to the second body portion 106b 1. For example, the second serration 106b2 protrudes from the second body sidewall S2a of the second body 106b1 toward the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 in the first direction D1. In some embodiments, the second serrations 106b2 may extend beyond the first electrode edge 11e in the first direction D1; that is, in the first direction D1, the distance D2 between the second serration 106b2 and the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 may be smaller than the distance between the first electrode edge 11e and the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22. At least a portion of the second serration 106b2 may be located in the second peripheral region GR 2. It will be appreciated that in various embodiments, each serration is spaced from the corresponding inter-digital electrode lead-out by a distance in the first direction, i.e., the distance d1 and the distance d2 described above are both non-zero distances.
In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first serrations 106a2 overlap the first interdigital electrode 11 (e.g., its connection portion 11D) in the third direction D3, and at least a portion of the second serrations 106b2 overlap the second interdigital electrode (e.g., its connection portion 12D) in the third direction D3. In some embodiments, the first and second serrations 106a2 and 106b2 may not overlap with a gap region between adjacent interdigital electrodes and an extension region of the gap region in the first direction D1 in the third direction D3; that is, the front projection of the first and second saw-tooth portions 106a2 and 106b2 on the piezoelectric substrate 100 is offset from the front projection of the gap region between adjacent interdigital electrodes and the extension region of the gap region in the first direction D1 on the piezoelectric substrate 100. Here, the gap region between adjacent interdigital electrodes refers to a gap region between adjacent interdigital electrodes of the plurality of first interdigital electrodes 11 and the plurality of second interdigital electrodes 12 in the second direction D2, and the extension region of the gap region in the first direction D1 refers to a region in which the gap region is formed to expand in the first direction D1 with the same width.
Referring to fig. 1B and 2B, in some embodiments, each serration comprises a plurality of extensions, which may be spaced apart from one another along the second direction, and connected to the corresponding body portion. For example, the first serration 106A2 may include a plurality of first extension portions A2, and the plurality of first extension portions A2 may be spaced apart from each other along the second direction D2 and may extend along the first direction D1 substantially parallel to each other. The second serration 106B2 includes a plurality of second extension parts B2, and the plurality of second extension parts B2 may be spaced apart from each other along the second direction D2 and may extend along the first direction D1 substantially parallel to each other.
In some embodiments, the spacing s1 between adjacent first extending portions A2 in the second direction D2 of the plurality of first extending portions A2 may be substantially the same as the spacing s1 between adjacent second extending portions B2 in the second direction D2 of the plurality of second extending portions B2, and the spacing s1 between adjacent first extending portions A2 or the spacing s1 between adjacent second extending portions B2 may be greater than or substantially equal to the spacing s2 between adjacent interdigital electrodes in the second direction D2, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. Herein, the distance between two members in a certain direction refers to the distance between the surfaces of the two members facing each other in the direction.
In some embodiments, the plurality of extensions may be disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of interdigital electrodes, i.e., the saw tooth structure of each clutter suppression substructure is provided with an extension at a position corresponding to each interdigital electrode. Here, the arrangement of the extension portion corresponding to the interdigital electrode means that the front projection of the extension portion on the piezoelectric substrate and the front projection of the interdigital electrode on the piezoelectric substrate are at least partially aligned in the first direction, and the front projection including the extension portion and the front projection of the interdigital electrode overlap each other, or the front projection of the extension portion and the front projection of the interdigital electrode do not overlap each other but abut each other, or the front projection of the extension portion and the front projection of the interdigital electrode do not overlap nor abut (i.e., are offset), but are at least partially aligned in the first direction, or the like.
In some embodiments, among the extension portions and the interdigital electrodes overlapping each other, a width of the extension portions in the second direction may be equal to or less than a width of the corresponding interdigital electrodes in the second direction, and an orthographic projection of the extension portions on the piezoelectric substrate may be located within an orthographic projection range of the corresponding interdigital electrodes on the piezoelectric substrate.
Referring to fig. 1B and 2B, in some embodiments, the plurality of first extension portions A2 includes at least a first extension sub-portion a21; for example, a plurality of first extension sub-portions a21 may be disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first interdigital electrodes 11, each first extension sub-portion a21 overlapping with a corresponding first interdigital electrode 11 (e.g., the connection portion 11D and/or the second terminal portion 11c thereof) in the third direction D3. For example, the orthographic projection of the first extension sub-portion a21 on the piezoelectric substrate 100 may be located within the orthographic projection range of the corresponding first interdigital electrode 11 on the piezoelectric substrate 100. The plurality of second extension parts B2 at least comprise second extension sub-parts B21; for example, the plurality of second extension sub-portions b21 may be disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of second interdigital electrodes 12, and each second extension sub-portion b21 overlaps with the corresponding second interdigital electrode 12 (e.g., the connection portion 12D and/or the second terminal portion 12c thereof) in the third direction D3. For example, the orthographic projection of each second extension sub-portion b21 on the piezoelectric substrate 100 may be located within the orthographic projection range of the corresponding second interdigital electrode 12 on the piezoelectric substrate 100. In some embodiments, the first extension sub-portion a21 extends beyond the end portions of the plurality of interdigital electrodes in the first direction and overlaps with the portion of the connection portion 11D of the first interdigital electrode 11 in the third direction D3, and the second extension sub-portion b21 extends beyond the end portions of the plurality of interdigital electrodes in the first direction and overlaps with the portion of the connection portion 12D of the second interdigital electrode 12 in the third direction D3.
In some embodiments, in the first extension sub-portion a21 and the first interdigital electrode 11 overlapped with each other, the width of the first extension sub-portion a21 in the second direction D2 may be substantially equal to the width of the first interdigital electrode 11 in the second direction D2. The opposite side walls of the first extension sub-portion a21 in the second direction D2 may be aligned with portions of the opposite side walls of the first interdigital electrode 11 in the second direction D2, respectively, in the third direction D3. In the second extension sub-portion b21 and the second interdigital electrode 12 overlapping each other, a width of the second extension sub-portion b21 in the second direction D2 may be substantially equal to a width of the second interdigital electrode 12 in the second direction D2. The opposite side walls of the second extension sub-portion b21 in the second direction D2 may be aligned with portions of the opposite side walls of the second interdigital electrode 12 in the second direction D2, respectively, in the third direction D3. Here, the opposite side walls of the extension or the interdigital electrode in the second direction refer to two side walls thereof, which respectively extend in the first direction D1 and are opposite to each other in the second direction D2.
In an alternative embodiment, in the first extension sub-portion a21 and the first interdigital electrode 11 overlapped with each other, the width of the first extension sub-portion a21 in the second direction D2 may also be smaller than the width of the corresponding first interdigital electrode 11 in the second direction D2. Similarly, in the second extended sub-portion b21 and the second interdigital electrode 12 overlapping each other, the width of the second extended sub-portion b21 in the second direction D2 may also be smaller than the width of the second interdigital electrode 12 in the second direction D2.
In some embodiments, in the extending sub-portion and the interdigital electrode overlapped with each other, the width of the extending sub-portion is set to be less than or equal to the width of the corresponding interdigital electrode, and the orthographic projection of the extending sub-portion on the piezoelectric substrate is located within the orthographic projection range of the corresponding interdigital electrode, so that the overlapping area of the extending sub-portion and the interdigital electrode can be maximized when the extending sub-portion has a certain area (for example, a relatively small area), thereby maximally improving the clutter suppression capability while reducing the metal coverage area of the clutter suppression structure (for example, a metal structure) to reduce ohmic loss.
In some embodiments, the plurality of extensions may further include additional extension sub-portions in the first serration 106a2 and/or the second serration 106b 2. For example, the plurality of first extensions further includes a first additional extension sub-portion, an orthographic projection of the first additional extension sub-portion on the piezoelectric substrate being at least partially aligned with an orthographic projection of the second interdigital electrode on the piezoelectric substrate in a first direction; the plurality of second extensions further includes a second additional extension sub-portion, an orthographic projection of the second additional extension sub-portion on the piezoelectric substrate being at least partially aligned with an orthographic projection of the first interdigital electrode on the piezoelectric substrate in the first direction.
Referring to fig. 1B and 2B, for example, at least part of the additional extension portion may be located in the peripheral region and not overlap the interdigital electrode in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate. For example, in the first serration 106A2, the plurality of first extension parts A2 further includes one or more first additional extension sub-parts a22, the first additional extension sub-parts a22 being located at one side of the first extension sub-part a21 in the second direction D2 and being spaced apart from the first extension sub-part a 21. For example, the plurality of first extension sub-portions a21 and the plurality of first additional extension sub-portions a22 are alternately arranged in the second direction D2. In some embodiments, the first additional extension sub-portion a22 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the second interdigital electrode 12 and extend beyond the second electrode edge 12e in the first direction D1, the orthographic projection of the first additional extension sub-portion a22 on the piezoelectric substrate may be aligned with the orthographic projection of the second interdigital electrode 12 on the piezoelectric substrate in the first direction D1, and the orthographic projection of the first additional extension sub-portion a22 is located on a side of the orthographic projection of the second interdigital electrode 12 near the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21. For example, the orthographic projection of the first additional extension sub-portion a22 may abut, but not overlap, the orthographic projection of the second electrode edge 12e of the second interdigital electrode 12 on the piezoelectric substrate.
In some embodiments, in the first serration 106A2, the plurality of first extension parts A2 include a plurality of first extension sub-parts a21 and a plurality of first additional extension sub-parts a22, and the plurality of first extension sub-parts a21 and the plurality of first additional extension sub-parts a22 may be alternately arranged in the second direction D2 and spaced apart from each other.
For example, in the second serration 106B2, the plurality of second extension parts B2 further includes one or more second additional extension sub-parts B22, and the second additional extension sub-parts B22 are located at one side of the second extension sub-part B21 in the second direction D2 and spaced apart from the second extension sub-part B21. In some embodiments, the second additional extension sub-portion b22 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the first interdigital electrode 11 and extend beyond the first electrode edge 11e in the first direction D1, an orthographic projection of the second additional extension sub-portion b22 on the piezoelectric substrate may be aligned with an orthographic projection of the first interdigital electrode 11 on the piezoelectric substrate in the first direction D1, and the orthographic projection of the second additional extension sub-portion b22 is located on a side of the orthographic projection of the first interdigital electrode 11 near the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22. For example, said orthographic projection of the second additional extension sub-portion b22 may abut, but not overlap, an orthographic projection of the first electrode edge 11e of the first interdigital electrode 11 on the piezoelectric substrate.
In some embodiments, in the second serration 106B2, the plurality of second extension parts B2 include a plurality of second extension sub-parts B21 and a plurality of second additional extension sub-parts B22, and the plurality of second extension sub-parts B21 and the plurality of second additional extension sub-parts B22 may be alternately arranged in the second direction D2 and spaced apart from each other. In some embodiments, for the regions of the first and second clutter suppression substructures that overlap the interdigital transducers, the widths of the plurality of extensions may be substantially the same as the widths of the respective plurality of interdigital electrodes, respectively, and the spacing between adjacent extensions may be substantially equal to the spacing between adjacent interdigital electrodes.
Referring to fig. 1A and 1B and fig. 2A-2C, in some embodiments, an orthographic projection of a body sidewall of a body portion of the clutter suppression structure proximate to the peripheral region on the piezoelectric substrate may be aligned with an orthographic projection of a corresponding electrode edge on the piezoelectric substrate in the second direction D2. For example, the orthographic projection of the first body sidewall S1a of the first body portion 106a1 on the piezoelectric substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the second electrode edge 12e on the piezoelectric substrate 100 are aligned with each other in the second direction D2; the orthographic projection of the second body side wall S2a of the second body portion 106b1 on the piezoelectric substrate 100 and the orthographic projection of the first electrode edge 11e on the piezoelectric substrate 100 are aligned with each other in the second direction D2. In other words, the boundary between the body portion and the serrations may be substantially aligned with the respective electrode edges in a third direction perpendicular to the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate. For example, the boundary between the first body portion 106a1 and the first serrations 106a2 may be substantially aligned with the second electrode edge 12e in the third direction D3; the boundary between the second body portion 106b1 and the second serration 106b2 may be substantially aligned with the first electrode edge 11e in the third direction D3. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto.
In this embodiment, the saw tooth structures SP are all located in the peripheral region GR. For example, the first saw-tooth portions 106a2 may all be located in the first peripheral region GR1, wherein the orthographic projection of the first extension sub-portion a21 on the piezoelectric substrate is located within the orthographic projection range of the connection portion 11d of the first interdigital electrode 11 on the piezoelectric substrate, and the entire first additional extension sub-portion a22 extends beyond the second electrode edge 12e without overlapping the second electrode 12 in the third direction; the second saw-tooth portions 106b2 may be entirely located in the second peripheral region GR2, wherein an orthographic projection of the second extended sub-portion b21 on the piezoelectric substrate 100 is located within an orthographic projection of the connection portion 12d of the second interdigital electrode 12 on the piezoelectric substrate, and the entire second additional extended sub-portion b22 extends beyond the first electrode edge 11e without overlapping the first electrode 11 in the third direction.
Referring to fig. 1B, in some embodiments, the peripheral width of each peripheral region is defined by the distance of the respective electrode edge from the interdigitated electrode lead-out in the first direction. For example, the first peripheral region GR1 has a first peripheral width W1, which first peripheral width W1 is defined by the distance between the second electrode edge 12e and the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 in the first direction D1, that is, is substantially equal to the distance between the second electrode edge 12e and the surface of the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 facing the second electrode edge 12e in the first direction D1. The second peripheral region GR2 has a second peripheral width W2, and the second peripheral width W2 is defined by a distance between the first electrode edge 11e and the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 in the first direction D1, that is, substantially equal to a distance between the first electrode edge 11e and a surface of the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 facing the first electrode edge 11e in the first direction D1.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1B, in the first direction D1, the distance between the first body sidewall S1a of the first body portion 106a and the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 is substantially the same as the first peripheral width W1; the distance between the second body sidewall S2a of the second body portion 106b and the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 may be substantially the same as the second peripheral width W2.
In this embodiment, the width L1 of the first serration part 106A2 in the first direction D1 (i.e., the extension length of the first extension part A2 in the first direction D1) is equal to or less than 20% of the first peripheral width W1; the width L2 of the second serration 106B2 in the first direction D1 (i.e., the extension length of the second extension B2 in the first direction D1) is equal to or less than 20% of the second peripheral width W2. The extension lengths of the plurality of first extension portions A2 in the first serration 106A2 may be substantially the same or different from each other, and each extension portion may have an extension length within 20% of the first peripheral width W1. The extension lengths of the plurality of second extension portions B2 in the second serration 106B2 may be substantially the same or different from each other, and each extension portion may have an extension length within 20% of the second peripheral width W2.
In some embodiments, the first and second peripheral widths W1, W2 may each be within 0.1 to 2 times the wavelength. The width W3 of the first body portion 106a1 and the width W4 of the second body portion 106b1 may each be set within 0.25 to 0.5 times the wavelength. The width of the first serration 106a2 and the width of the second serration 106b2 may each be set within 0.1 to 0.5 times the wavelength. It should be understood that the widths herein all refer to the width in the first direction D1, and the wavelength refers to the operating wavelength of the resonator device, which is equal to the ratio of the sound velocity to the frequency (i.e., the resonant frequency of the resonator device). And wavelength = sound speed/frequency.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1B and 2A, in the clutter suppression structure, the thicknesses of the main body portion and the saw tooth portion in the direction perpendicular to the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate may be substantially the same as each other. In some embodiments, the normalized thickness of the body structure BP may range from about 0.03 to 0.12, and the normalized thickness of the saw tooth structure SP may range from about 0.03 to 0.12. Here, normalized thickness=equivalent film thickness/wavelength.
In each of the first and second clutter suppression substructures, the widths of the main body portion and the serration portion in the first direction may be the same or different from each other. In some embodiments, the width of the serrations in the first direction may be less than or equal to the width of the main body in the first direction; in other embodiments, the width of the serrations in the first direction may also be greater than the width of the main body in the first direction.
Referring to fig. 1A, 1B, and 2A-2C, in some embodiments, orthographic projections of the first end portions 11B, the second end portions 11C, and a portion of the connection portions 11d of the plurality of first interdigital electrodes 11, and a portion of the first end portions 12B, the second end portions 12C, and a portion of the connection portions 12d of the plurality of second interdigital electrodes 12 on the piezoelectric substrate 100 may be respectively located within orthographic projection ranges of the first clutter suppression substructure and the second clutter suppression substructure of the clutter suppression structure 106 on the piezoelectric substrate 100.
In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the second end portion 11c of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the first end portion 12b of the second interdigital electrode 12 on the piezoelectric substrate is located within the orthographic projection range of the first body portion 106a1 on the piezoelectric substrate. The orthographic projection of a portion of the connection portion 11d of the first interdigital electrode 11 on the piezoelectric substrate 100 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first serration 106a2 on the piezoelectric substrate, for example, within the orthographic projection range of the first serration 106a2 on the piezoelectric substrate.
In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first end portion 11b of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the second end portion 12c of the second interdigital electrode 12 on the piezoelectric substrate is located within the orthographic projection range of the second body portion 106b1 on the piezoelectric substrate. The orthographic projection of a portion of the connection portion 12d of the second interdigital electrode 12 on the piezoelectric substrate 100 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second serration 106b2 on the piezoelectric substrate, for example, within the orthographic projection range of the second serration 106b2 on the piezoelectric substrate.
Referring to fig. 2A to 2C, in some embodiments, the saw resonator device 500a further includes a dielectric layer 102, where the dielectric layer 102 is disposed on the piezoelectric substrate 100 and covers the interdigital transducer, for example, at least a side wall of the plurality of interdigital electrodes and a surface thereof on a side away from the piezoelectric substrate 100, or may further cover a side wall of the plurality of interdigital electrode extraction portions and a surface thereof on a side away from the piezoelectric substrate 100. In some embodiments, the clutter suppression structure 106 is located on a side of the dielectric layer 102 remote from the piezoelectric substrate 100, i.e., a portion of the dielectric layer 102 is located between the clutter suppression structure 106 and the interdigital electrodes in a third direction D3 perpendicular to the major surface of the piezoelectric substrate and spaces the clutter suppression structure 106 and the interdigital electrodes apart. In some embodiments, the saw resonator device 500a may further include a dielectric layer 108, where the dielectric layer 108 is disposed on a side of the dielectric layer 102 away from the piezoelectric substrate 100, and may cover the sidewalls of the clutter suppression structure 106 and its surface on the side away from the piezoelectric substrate. Dielectric layer 102 and dielectric layer 108 may function as temperature compensation layers and may include a temperature compensation material such as silicon oxide. The dielectric layer 102 and the dielectric layer 108 may together form a temperature compensated structure. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 108 may also be omitted, i.e., the temperature compensating structure may include only the dielectric layer 102.
In some embodiments, the saw resonator device 500a may further include a first conductive connection 31, a second conductive connection 32, and a passivation layer 110. For example, the first conductive connection 31 extends through the dielectric layers 108 and 102 to electrically connect with the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21; the second conductive connection 32 extends through the dielectric layers 108 and 102 to electrically connect with the second interdigital electrode lead 22.
The passivation layer 110 may be disposed on a side of the temperature compensation structure away from the piezoelectric substrate, for example, on a side of the dielectric layer 108 away from the piezoelectric substrate 100, and covers a portion of the surfaces of the first conductive connection member 31 and the second conductive connection member 32. For example, the passivation layer 110 may cover the sidewalls of the first and second conductive connection members 31 and 32 and a portion of the surfaces thereof remote from the piezoelectric substrate. The passivation layer 110 may have a plurality of openings, for example, including a first passivation opening 110a and a second passivation opening 110b, the first passivation opening 110a and the second passivation opening 110b exposing portions of the surfaces of the first conductive connection member 31 and the second conductive connection member 32, respectively, on a side away from the piezoelectric substrate 100 to provide an external connection window. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 108 may be omitted, and the passivation layer 110 may be formed on a side of the dielectric layer 102 away from the piezoelectric substrate 100 and covering the clutter suppression structure 106, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.
For ease of understanding, in the cross-sectional views of fig. 2A to 2C, the structure of the passivation opening in the cross-sectional view is schematically shown, but the position of the passivation opening in fig. 2A to 2C may not completely correspond to the position of the passivation opening in fig. 1A. It will be appreciated that the location of the passivation openings may be suitably adjusted and set according to product design and requirements.
Referring to fig. 1A, in some embodiments, the saw resonator device 500a further includes a reflection grating 102a and a reflection grating 102b (which may be collectively referred to as reflection grating 102). The reflective grating 102 may be co-layer with the interdigital transducer 101. That is, the reflective grating 102 and the interdigital transducer 102 can be formed from the same material layer by the same patterning process, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.
Reflective grating 102a and reflective grating 102b are disposed on opposite sides of interdigital transducer 101 in second direction D2, each reflective grating comprising a plurality of reflective electrodes 52 and bus bars 53. For example, in each of the reflective grids, the plurality of reflective electrodes 52 extend in a first direction D1 substantially parallel to each other and are arranged at intervals along a second direction D2, and the bus bars 53 extend along the second direction D2 and are connected to the plurality of reflective electrodes 52. For example, two bus bars 53 are located on opposite sides of the plurality of reflective electrodes 52 in the first direction D1, and may be substantially parallel to each other, and each electrically connected to the plurality of reflective electrodes 52. The number of reflective electrodes 52 in reflective grid 102a may be the same as or different from the number of reflective electrodes 52 in reflective grid 102 b. It should be understood that the number of first interdigital electrodes, the number of second interdigital electrodes, and the number of reflective electrodes in the reflective grating shown in the drawings are merely illustrative, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
In some embodiments, the clutter suppression structure 106 may also extend to the region where the reflective grating 102 is located, and the clutter suppression structure 106 may also partially overlap the reflective grating 102, e.g., partially overlap the plurality of reflective electrodes 52, in a third direction D3 perpendicular to the major surface of the piezoelectric substrate 100.
For example, the clutter suppression structure 106 has an additional region AP, and the clutter suppression structure 106 overlaps each other in the third direction D3 perpendicular to the piezoelectric substrate major surface between the additional region AP and the reflective grating 102. For example, the first clutter suppression substructure 106a and the second clutter suppression substructure 106b each have a central region overlapping the interdigital transducers in the third direction and an additional region AP overlapping the one or more reflection grids 102. For example, in each clutter suppression substructure, two additional regions AP are disposed on opposite sides of the central region in the second direction D2 and may be disposed in one-to-one correspondence with two reflective gratings 102. In the clutter suppression substructure, the structure of the additional region AP is similar to that of the central region, i.e. the clutter suppression substructure is also provided with a main body and serrations in the additional region AP.
For example, the first body portion 106a1 and the second body portion 106b1 each extend from the central region to the additional region in the second direction D2 and extend continuously across the plurality of interdigital electrodes of the interdigital transducer and the plurality of reflective electrodes 52 of the reflective grating 102. That is, the first body portion 106a1 and the second body portion 106b1 may each overlap the plurality of interdigital electrodes of the interdigital transducer and the plurality of reflective electrodes 52 of the reflective grating 102 in the third direction D3 perpendicular to the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate, and overlap a gap region between adjacent interdigital electrodes, a gap region between adjacent reflective electrodes, and a gap region between adjacent interdigital electrodes and reflective electrodes.
In some embodiments, in additional regions of each clutter suppression substructure, the plurality of extensions included in the first serration 106a2 or the second serration 106b2 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of reflective electrodes, and each extension overlaps with a respective one of the reflective electrodes 52 in the third direction D3. For example, the orthographic projection of each extension on the piezoelectric substrate may be located within the orthographic projection of the corresponding reflective electrode on the piezoelectric substrate.
For example, in the first serration 106A2, the plurality of first extension parts A2 include a plurality of additional extension parts a23 located at the additional area AP. The plurality of additional extension portions a23 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2, may be disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of reflection electrodes 52, and overlap each other with the plurality of reflection electrodes 52 in the third direction D3 perpendicular to the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate, respectively. The number of the plurality of additional extension portions a23 may be the same as the number of the plurality of reflection electrodes 52, but may be different from each other. In the second serration 106B2, the plurality of second extensions B2 include a plurality of additional extensions B23 located at the additional area AP. The plurality of additional extension portions b23 may be disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of reflection electrodes 52, and overlap each other with the plurality of reflection electrodes 52 in the third direction D3 perpendicular to the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate, respectively. The number of the plurality of additional extensions b23 may be the same as the number of the plurality of reflective electrodes 52, but may be different from each other.
In some embodiments, in the first serration 106a2 or the second serration 106b2, the orthographic projection of the additional extension onto the piezoelectric substrate may be located within the orthographic projection range of the reflective grating (e.g., its reflective electrode) onto the piezoelectric substrate. For example, in the second direction D2, the spacing between adjacent additional extensions may be substantially the same as the spacing between adjacent reflective electrodes 52, and the width of the additional extensions may be substantially the same as the width of the corresponding reflective electrodes (i.e., the reflective electrodes overlapping the additional extensions in the third direction). In the reflective electrode and the additional extension overlapping each other in the third direction, two sidewalls of the reflective electrode opposite to each other in the second direction D2 may be substantially aligned with two sidewalls of the additional extension opposite to each other in the second direction D2, respectively, in the third direction. In alternative embodiments, the spacing between adjacent additional extensions may also be greater than the spacing between adjacent reflective electrodes 52 in the second direction D2, and the width of the additional extensions may be less than the width of the respective reflective electrodes.
In other embodiments, the clutter suppression structures may be disposed only in the region of the interdigital transducers and not extend into the region of the reflective grating. That is, the additional region AP of the clutter suppression structure may be omitted.

The surface acoustic wave resonator device 500b is similar in structure to the surface acoustic wave resonator device 500a, except that an additional extension in the saw tooth section is omitted in the surface acoustic wave resonator device 500 b.
Referring to fig. 3A and 3B, in some embodiments, in the first serration 106A2, the plurality of extensions A2 includes the first extension sub-portion a21, and may not include the first additional extension sub-portion a22 shown in fig. 1A and 1B. In the second serration 106B2, the plurality of extension parts B2 include the second extension sub-part B21, and may not include the second additional extension sub-part B22 shown in fig. 1A and 1B.
In this embodiment, a spacing s1 between two adjacent ones of the plurality of first extending portions A2 or a spacing s1 between two adjacent ones of the plurality of second extending portions B2 is larger than a spacing s2 between adjacent interdigital electrodes.
In the first clutter suppression substructure 106a, the first body sidewall S1a of the first body portion 106a1 may have a portion aligned with the second electrode edge 12e in the third direction D3, and the plurality of first extensions A2 of the first serration 106A2 are located in the first peripheral region GR1 and may each overlap with the interdigital electrodes and/or the reflective grating in the third direction. For example, the orthographic projection of the first serrations 106a2 on the piezoelectric substrate may be within an orthographic projection range of the plurality of first interdigital electrodes and/or the reflective grating on the piezoelectric substrate.
In the second clutter suppression substructure 106B, the second body sidewall S2a of the second body portion 106B1 may have a portion aligned with the first electrode edge 11e in the third direction D3, and the plurality of second extensions B2 of the second saw tooth portion 106B2 are located in the second peripheral region GR2 and may each overlap with the interdigital electrodes and/or the reflective grating in the third direction. For example, the orthographic projection of the plurality of second extensions B2 on the piezoelectric substrate may be within the orthographic projection range of the plurality of second interdigital electrodes and/or reflective gratings on the piezoelectric substrate.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1A-3B, the boundaries between the body portion and the serrations are aligned with the respective electrode edges, and the body portion is located in the end region and the serrations are located in the peripheral region, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In alternative embodiments, the boundary before the body portion and the serrations may also be offset in the first direction relative to the respective electrode edges, such that the body portion may be located in both the end region and the peripheral region, or the serrations may be located in both the end region and the peripheral region. Some examples of alternative embodiments are described below in conjunction with the drawings.
In some examples, the saw tooth structure further comprises at least one of: the first serration part further includes a portion overlapping the second interdigital electrode in the third direction; the second serration also includes a portion overlapping the first interdigital electrode in a third direction.
Fig. 4A shows a schematic top view of a surface acoustic wave resonator device 500c according to further embodiments of the disclosure; fig. 4B shows a schematic enlarged top view of the region D of fig. 4A.
Referring to fig. 4A and 4B, in some embodiments, in the first clutter suppression substructure 106a, the boundary between the first body portion 106a1 and the first serration 106a2 (or the first body sidewall S1 a) may be offset in the first direction D1 relative to the second electrode edge 12e away from the first peripheral region GR 1; that is, in the first direction D1, the distance g1 between the first body side wall S1a and the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 is greater than the distance (i.e., the first peripheral width W1) between the second electrode edge 12e and the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21. In the second clutter suppression substructure 106b, the boundary between the second body portion 106b1 and the second serration 106b2 (or the second body sidewall S2 a) may be offset in the first direction D1 relative to the first electrode edge 11e away from the second peripheral region GR 2; that is, in the first direction D1, the distance g2 between the second main body side wall S2a and the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 is greater than the distance between the first electrode edge 11e and the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 (i.e., the second peripheral width W2).
In this embodiment, the tip portions of the plurality of interdigital electrodes overlap not only the main body portion of the clutter suppression structure, but also part of the serrations. For example, in the third direction D3, the second end portion 11c of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the first end portion 12b of the second interdigital electrode 12 overlap the first body portion 106a1 and also overlap the first serration 106a 2; the first end portion 11b of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the second end portion 12c of the second interdigital electrode 12 overlap the second body portion 106b1, and also overlap the second serration 106b 2.
The first and second serrations 106a2, 106b2 each extend from the end region into the peripheral region, i.e. a portion of each serration is located in the end region and another portion extends beyond the respective electrode edge in the first direction and is located in the peripheral region. In this example, the orthographic projection of the first additional extension of the first serration on the piezoelectric substrate may overlap with the orthographic projection of the second interdigital electrode on the piezoelectric substrate, and the orthographic projection of the second additional extension of the second serration on the piezoelectric substrate may overlap with the orthographic projection of the first interdigital electrode on the piezoelectric substrate.
Among the plurality of first extension portions A2 of the first serration 106A2, a portion of the first extension sub-portion a21 overlaps the second end portion of the first interdigital electrode 11 in the third direction, and another portion of the first extension sub-portion a21 overlaps the connection portion 11d of the first interdigital electrode in the third direction; a portion of the first additional extension sub-portion a22 overlaps the first terminal portion 12b of the second interdigital electrode 12 in the third direction, and another portion of the first additional extension sub-portion a22 extends beyond the second electrode edge 12e so as not to overlap the interdigital electrode in the third direction.
Among the plurality of second extension portions B2 of the second serration 106B2, a portion of the second extension sub-portion B21 overlaps the second end portion of the second interdigital electrode 12 in the third direction, and another portion of the second extension sub-portion B21 overlaps the connection portion 12d of the second interdigital electrode in the third direction; a portion of the second additional extended sub-portion b22 overlaps the first terminal portion 11b of the first interdigital electrode 11 in the third direction, and another portion of the second additional extended sub-portion b22 extends beyond the first electrode edge 11e so as not to overlap the interdigital electrode in the third direction. In the plurality of first extension portions or the plurality of second extension portions, the width of the extension sub-portion in the first direction is the same as or different from the width of the additional extension sub-portion in the first direction. For example, the width of the extension sub-portion may be equal to or greater than the width of the additional extension sub-portion.
In some alternative embodiments, the portions of the first and second additional extension sub-portions a22 and B22 shown in fig. 4A and 4B that extend beyond the edges of the respective electrodes may be removed such that the orthographic projection of the additional extension sub-portions onto the piezoelectric substrate is also within the orthographic projection of the respective interdigital electrodes onto the piezoelectric substrate. In this example, in each serration, the width of the extension sub-portion in the first direction may be greater than the width of the additional extension sub-portion in the first direction.

Referring to fig. 5A and 5B, in some embodiments, in the first clutter suppression substructure 106a, the boundary between the first body portion 106a1 and the first serration 106a2 (or the first body sidewall S1 a) may be offset in the first direction D1 relative to the second electrode edge 12e towards the first peripheral region GR 1; that is, in the first direction D1, the distance g1 between the first body side wall S1a and the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21 is smaller than the distance (i.e., the first peripheral width W1) between the second electrode edge 12e and the first interdigital electrode lead-out portion 21. In the second clutter suppression substructure 106b, the boundary between the second body portion 106b1 and the second serration 106b2 (or the second body sidewall S2 a) may be offset in the first direction D1 relative to the first electrode edge 11e towards the second peripheral region GR 2; that is, in the first direction D1, the distance g2 between the second main body side wall S2a and the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 is smaller than the distance between the first electrode edge 11e and the second interdigital electrode lead-out portion 22 (i.e., the second peripheral width W2).
In this embodiment, the main body portion of each clutter suppression substructure extends beyond the respective electrode edges in the first direction and overlaps with the end portions of the plurality of interdigital electrodes and a portion of the connection portions of the respective interdigital electrodes in the third direction, and each serration is located in the peripheral region. In the third direction, the tip portions of the plurality of interdigital electrodes overlap with the main structure of the clutter suppression structure, and the connecting portions of the plurality of interdigital electrodes may overlap with the main structure of the clutter suppression structure and the sawtooth structure.
For example, the first body portion 106a1 extends beyond the second electrode edge 12E in the first direction D1, and the end portions of the plurality of interdigital electrodes located in the first end region E1 overlap portions of the first body portion 106a1 in the third direction; a portion of the connection portions 11D of the plurality of first interdigital electrodes 11 overlaps the first serration 106a2 in the third direction D3, and overlaps a portion of the first main body portion 106a 1.
For example, the second body portion 106b1 extends beyond the first electrode edge 11E in the first direction D1, and the end portions of the plurality of interdigital electrodes located in the second end region E2 overlap with portions of the second body portion 106b1 in the third direction; a portion of the connection portions 12D of the plurality of second interdigital electrodes 12 overlaps the second serration 106b2 in the third direction D3, and overlaps a portion of the second body portion 106b 1. In this example, the front projection of the first additional extension sub-portion a22 on the piezoelectric substrate is offset from the front projection of the second interdigital electrode 12 on the piezoelectric substrate, and the front projection of the second additional extension sub-portion b22 on the piezoelectric substrate is offset from the front projection of the first interdigital electrode 11 on the piezoelectric substrate. In alternative embodiments, additional extension sub-portions of each serration in this example (i.e., first additional extension sub-portion a22 and second additional extension sub-portion b 22) may also be removed.
Fig. 6A shows a schematic top view of a surface acoustic wave resonator device according to further embodiments of the present disclosure, and fig. 6B shows a schematic enlarged top view of region D of fig. 6A.
Referring to fig. 6A and 6B, in some embodiments, the body structure and the serration structure of the clutter suppression structure may both be located in the end region without extending into the peripheral region. The end portions of the first and second interdigital electrodes overlap the main structure and the saw tooth structure of the clutter suppression structure in the third direction D3. Each extension of the saw tooth structure may overlap with the corresponding interdigital electrode or the reflective electrode in the third direction, and the orthographic projection of each extension on the piezoelectric substrate may be located within the orthographic projection range of the corresponding interdigital electrode or the reflective electrode on the piezoelectric substrate. The saw tooth structure may have a sidewall aligned with the first electrode edge or the second electrode edge in a third direction. In each clutter suppression substructure, the main body portion overlaps with a portion of the end portions of the plurality of interdigital electrodes near the central region C in the third direction, and the serrations overlap with a portion of the end portions of the plurality of interdigital electrodes near the peripheral region in the third direction.
For example, in the first clutter suppression substructure, the first body portion 106a1 and the first serration 106a2 are each located in the first end region E1, and the second end portion 11c of each first interdigital electrode 11, the first end portion 12b of each second interdigital electrode 12 may each have a portion overlapping the first body portion 106a1 and a portion overlapping the first serration 106a 2. The first serrations 106a2 may have sidewalls aligned with the second electrode edge 12e in the third direction D3 (e.g., sidewalls of the first additional extension a 22). In this example, the orthographic projection of the first extension sub-portion a21 on the piezoelectric substrate is within the orthographic projection range of the first interdigital electrode 11 on the piezoelectric substrate, and the orthographic projection of the first additional extension sub-portion a22 on the piezoelectric substrate is within the orthographic projection range of the second interdigital electrode 12 on the piezoelectric substrate.
For example, in the second clutter suppression substructure, the second body portion 106b1 and the second serration 106b2 are each located in the second end region E2, and the first end portion 11b of each first interdigital electrode 11, the second end portion 12c of each second interdigital electrode 12 may each have a portion overlapping the second body portion 106b1 and a portion overlapping the second serration 106b 2. The second serration 106b2 may have sidewalls aligned with the first electrode edge 11e in the third direction D3 (e.g., sidewalls of the second additional extension b 22). In this example, the orthographic projection of the second extension sub-portion b21 on the piezoelectric substrate is located within the orthographic projection range of the second interdigital electrode 12 on the piezoelectric substrate, and the orthographic projection of the second additional extension sub-portion b22 on the piezoelectric substrate is located within the orthographic projection range of the first interdigital electrode 11 on the piezoelectric substrate. In this embodiment, the connection portion 11D of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the connection portion 12D of the second interdigital electrode 12 do not overlap with the clutter suppression structure in the third direction D3; that is, the orthographic projection of the connection portion 11d of the first interdigital electrode 11 and the connection portion 12d of the second interdigital electrode 12 on the piezoelectric substrate 100 is offset from the orthographic projection of the clutter suppression structure 106 on the piezoelectric substrate 100.
The embodiments shown in fig. 4A-6A illustrate various examples of the clutter suppression structure being offset in the first direction based on the surface acoustic wave resonator 500a, it being understood that similar variations may be made based on the surface acoustic wave resonator 500b such that its clutter suppression structure is offset in the first direction, resulting in other alternative embodiments. In addition, in the alternative embodiments of fig. 4A to 6A, after the clutter suppression structures are shifted in the first direction, the widths of the main body portion and the sawtooth portion of each clutter suppression substructure in the first direction D1 can be appropriately adjusted according to the product design and the requirements, so as to meet the product requirements and ensure the clutter suppression capability of the clutter suppression structures.
In the various embodiments described above, the first and second clutter suppression substructures each have first and second sides opposite each other in the first direction, the first side being provided with the saw tooth structure and having a rugged surface, the second side being remote from the peripheral region and having a flat surface extending continuously in the second direction. Specifically, the flat surface of the second side of the first clutter suppression substructure may be a surface of the sidewall S1b of the first body portion, and the flat surface of the second side of the second clutter suppression substructure may be a surface of the sidewall S2b of the second body portion.

The piezoelectric substrate 100 may comprise a piezoelectric crystal, a piezoelectric ceramic, or the like, as appropriate. For example, the material of the piezoelectric substrate 100 may include aluminum nitride (AlN), doped aluminum nitride, zinc oxide (ZnO), lead zirconate titanate (PZT), lithium niobate (LiNbO 3), quartz (Quartz), potassium niobate (KNbO 3), lithium tantalate (LiTaO 3), the like, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the piezoelectric substrate 100 may be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure, for example, may be a piezoelectric thin film composite structure, for example, a composite structure of lithium tantalate piezoelectric thin film/silicon dioxide/silicon substrate. In some embodiments, the piezoelectric substrate 100 may be a single crystal piezoelectric substrate. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto.
In some embodiments, the interdigital transducer can comprise a metallic material, such as one or more of the metallic materials Ti, cr, ag, cu, mo, pt, W, al. The interdigital transducers can be formed via a deposition process, such as evaporation, and a patterning process. For example, forming the interdigital transducer can include depositing a layer of electrode material on a piezoelectric substrate, and patterning the layer of electrode material. The electrode material layer may have a single-layer or multi-layer structure, and may be, for example, a combined stack of two or more of the above metal materials. In some embodiments, the reflective grating 102 is formed on the piezoelectric substrate 100, and the reflective grating 102 and the interdigital transducer 101 can be formed from the electrode material layer by the same patterning process. The specific structures of the interdigital transducer 101 and the reflective grating 102 can be referred to above, and will not be described again.
In some embodiments, the method of manufacturing further comprises: before forming the clutter suppression structure 106, a dielectric layer 102 is formed on the piezoelectric substrate 100 to cover the side walls of the interdigital transducer 101 and the reflective grating 102 and the surface thereof on the side remote from the piezoelectric substrate 100. The dielectric layer 102 may comprise a dielectric material such as silicon oxide and may be used as a temperature compensation layer. In some embodiments, the manufacturing method may further include: before forming the dielectric layer 102, a protective layer (not shown) is formed on the piezoelectric substrate 100, the protective layer extending along the surfaces of the interdigital transducers and the reflective grating and spacing the interdigital transducers and the reflective grating from the subsequently formed dielectric layer 102, the protective layer protecting the interdigital transducers and the reflective grating from oxidation, e.g., from oxidation during the formation of the dielectric layer 102.
In some embodiments, after forming the dielectric layer 102, the clutter suppression structure 106 is formed on a side of the dielectric layer 102 away from the piezoelectric substrate 100. The clutter suppression structure 106 may comprise a metallic structure and may comprise metallic materials such as gold, tungsten, silver, titanium, platinum, aluminum, copper, molybdenum, their analogs, alloys thereof, or combinations thereof. The metallic structure includes a first metallic substructure as a first clutter suppression substructure and a second metallic substructure as a second clutter suppression substructure. The metal structure may include forming a metal material layer on a side of the dielectric layer 102 remote from the piezoelectric substrate 100 by a deposition process such as evaporation and patterning the metal material layer to form a metal structure including a first metal substructure and a second metal substructure.

Therefore, on one hand, the main body part continuously extends and is connected with the sawtooth part, so that the stability of forming the clutter suppression structure in the manufacturing process can be improved, and on the other hand, the sawtooth part can relatively reduce the whole metal coverage area of the clutter suppression structure while improving the clutter suppression capability of the clutter suppression structure, thereby reducing ohmic loss and improving the performance of the device.
In some embodiments, the method of manufacturing further comprises: after forming the clutter suppression structure 106, a dielectric layer 108 is formed on a side of the dielectric layer 102 remote from the piezoelectric substrate; forming a first conductive connection member 31 and a second conductive connection member 32 to be connected to the first interdigital electrode extraction portion and the second interdigital electrode extraction portion, respectively; and forming the passivation layer 110, and removing a portion of the passivation layer 110 to form a first passivation opening and a second passivation opening.
Fig. 7A shows an admittance response diagram of a conventional surface acoustic wave resonator device and a surface acoustic wave resonator device 500a of an embodiment of the present disclosure having a clutter suppression structure including a main body portion and a saw tooth portion, in which an admittance frequency response (ADMITTANCE VS frequency response) curve C1a (shown in solid lines) of the conventional surface acoustic wave resonator device and an admittance frequency response curve C1b (shown in broken lines) of the surface acoustic wave resonator device 500a of the embodiment of the present disclosure are shown.

Referring to fig. 7A and 7B, it should be appreciated that more spurious spikes in the frequency response curve represent more spurious for the resonator and smoother frequency response curve represents less spurious for the resonator. As can be seen by comparing the admittance frequency response curve C1a and the real part frequency response curve C2a of the conventional surface acoustic wave resonator device with the admittance frequency response curve C1b and the real part frequency response curve C2b of the surface acoustic wave resonator device 500a of the embodiment of the present disclosure; within a particular frequency range, for example, in some examples, within the frequency range 1.796E9 to 1.864E9 hertz (Hz), both the admittance frequency response-curve C1a and the real frequency response-curve C2a of a conventional resonator have multiple spurious spikes, i.e., spurious waves of multiple spurious modes; whereas the admittance frequency response curve C1b and the real frequency response curve C2b of the saw resonator structure 500a are both smooth and free of significant spurious spikes, because by providing the spurious suppression structure 106 of the disclosed embodiments, the formation and/or propagation of spurious is suppressed, and by providing the above-described structure, the spurious suppression capability of the spurious suppression structure 106 is improved. In this way, energy losses are avoided or reduced, thereby improving resonator performance.
Thus, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the ability of the resonator device to reject clutter may be improved by providing a clutter rejection structure comprising a body structure and a saw tooth structure; and the structure stability of the clutter suppression structure can be improved, the ohmic loss is reduced, and the device performance is further improved. In addition, the sawtooth structure is arranged on one side, close to the peripheral area, of the main body structure, and the sawtooth structure can be prevented from occupying an effective resonance area to a certain extent, so that the size of a product can be reduced.
